Livestock Feeding Industry Hurting WASHINGTON (UPI) — The livestock feeding industry is suffering from a depression as bad or worse than that of the 19305, Rep. Ralph F. Beermann, R-Neb., said today. Beermann charged in an interview that a “vindictive’ administration has done nothing to help the industry through the recently announced agreements to curb meat imports from Australia and New Zealand. The agreements would limit this year’s imports to the average of 1962-63, the highest on record, and would allow increases of about 3 per cent in 1965 and ’66 because of the growing population. Congress has no choice but to legislate for the protection of U.S. livestockmen, Beermann said. A member of the House Agriculture Committee, he said he will “push” bills which would set the 1958-62 five-year average of imports as the base for limiting imports. “I’ve always said legislation on this matter should be the last resort,” he said. “But this negotiation and settlement shows a vindictive attitude by the Departments of State and Agriculture against the livestock industry which always has been opposed to government intervention. It looks like a conspiracy to drive the U.S. men out of business.” Beermann said livestock feeders comprise the largest single segment of the agricultural economy and the depression they now are suffering is spreading to merchants in their communities. He said that worried businessmen discussed this with him during recent speeches in Illinois, lowa, and Nebraska. “They just can’t understand why the administration would negotiate agreements for the benefit of the Australian cattle producer rather than the American livestock - producer,” he .said. , _ “If the administration favors the ruin of the U.S. livestock industry, we might just as well get that on the record before the election.” Rain, Snow Over Most Os Indiana By United Press International Rain and snow fell over most of Indiana today while temperatures hovered a few degrees above and below freezing. Forecasts called for the possibility of an accumulation up to two inches in the southern two-thirds of the state, with the north portion due for only flurries. More snow is expected Friday and during the weekend, according to the five-day outlook. — The new snow, which began falling late Tuesday while some areas of the state remained blanketed with up to seven inches left over from a storm last weekend, created some traffic problems. i'-'WS Roads in the pre-dawn hours were slick to slick in spots in the north and central portions of the state.

COUNCIL HOLDS (Continued -from Page One) one landowner, one way east in a certain block, and this matter was referred to the street committee for investigation. Following the questions by these I attending the meeting. Mayor Gerber stated that he had some things he wanted to discuss with i the council. Oak Ridge Inprovements The mayor stated that he definitely feels that action should be taken at once on the Oak Ridge sewer and street problem that has been hanging fire for three or four years. City engineer Ralph Roop stated that an easement through a lady’s property was the only thing holding up the project, and that he would move to obtain that easement as soon as possible, so that the project can be completed . this year. A new water main for Meibers street, between 3rd and 11th, recommended by the fire insurance rating bureau, will start this » spring, the mayor pointed out. Roop stated that the pipe is now on hand, and that everything is ready. Mayor Gerber asked the city attorney to draw up the necessary ordinance for the letting of bids, including boring under the Pennsylvania railroad tracks. New Station Furnace Fire chief Cedric Fisher then reported that a Fort Wayne engineer had drawn up a blueprint and specifications for a proposed new heating plant for the city fire station. Mrs. Bosse reported that the city budget provided for the new plant this year. Fisher stated that the present boiler was leaking and ’’about to go,” and that action should definitely be taken early this spring. He recommended letting the contract as soon as possible, so that in case anything went wrong with the old boiler they would have someone who would patch it up economically until the new one can be installed. Al Anderson, who was present in the group of visitors as the council met in the former city court room, asked the council if it would be all right if he called a furnace factory, and asked for another engineer to come in, and at no expense to the city, present a second set of prints and specifications that the councilmen could compare before drawing the specifications they want and letting bids. The council agreed. Other Problems On questions from the mayor, city street commissioner Clark stated that at least three streets needed major repairs — Russell, SevehSi, and Nuttman, "but that he had been busy working on the city garage building, and would this next week determine if bids should be let, or if the city can do the work. Clark also reported that a special new pump is being secured for the swimming pool, and that it will be in operating condition before the pool is ready to open next summer. Councilman Deßolt asked Clark if the city intended to replace a sidewalk which he. had been told that the city had destroyed in making some improvements near 7th and Nuttman. Clark stated that he would look into the situation, but he didn’t believe the walk was a cement walk and usually the city only replaced the regular city-approved cement walks. Asserts Anyone Can Quit Smoking HOUSTON (UPI) — “Anyone can quit smoking, but it takes a brave man to face cancer.” This is the attitude of one of 2,000 youngsters of junior high school age who have tried smoking at least once as revealed in a survey by the Spring Independent School District. - _ ■. _ Os the 4,000 students interviewed, about 50 per cent had scmoked. While only about 1 per cent of the sixth graders have smoked as many as five cigarets, 20 per cent of the seventh • and eighth graders smoked more than five and 5 per cent smoked regularly. More boys than girls sneaked a cigaret now and then. If the parents smoked, the youngsters were more inclined to try it. In addition to filling out questionaires on their smoking habtis, the stadents, were asked to give their reasons for smoking or not smoking. • Here are some of the reasons tjr. ■ • s *> t smoking: "I’m not dum.” “Makes me through up.” “Because they give me badbreath and anybody can tell." “I am elergect to tobacco.” “Gives you canser.” 1960 PLYMOUTH Sport Coupe, V-8 Cleon, Sharp Car ZINTSMASTER MOTORS First & Monroe
